Woman Duped Out of $590M Powerball: "I Am Not Bitter"

Florida, United States – 84-year-old Gloria Mackenzie holds the title for being the single biggest lottery jackpot winner in history. Gloria scooped up a whopping $590.5 million in the US Powerball, but what is even more shocking is that she bought her ticket after jumping the queue in the supermarket – something that, thankfully, is impossible when you buy Powerball tickets online.

Selfless Mindy: "Things Are Meant for a Reason"

After hearing that Gloria Mackenzie had won $590.5 million in the Powerball, the woman who’d let her cut in line, Mindy Crandell, 34, said to NBC News that "things are meant to be for a reason."

Crandell, a mother of two, had her 10-year-old daughter with her the day when Mackenzie stepped out in front of her. The cashier stopped Mackenzie and offered Crandell a chance to be served first, but the selfless mother declined the cashier’s gesture. She told Mackenzie to "go ahead" – a move that cost Mindy $590.5 million!

After the amazing story started making headlines in the US, Mindy’s friends and co-workers teased her for weeks, some even reprimanding her. Crandell did not, however, develop any animosity towards the queue-jumping octogenarian who had snatched the historic jackpot away from under her nose. On the contrary, Crandell went on to say that she hopes the money "truly blesses Mackenzie and her family."
